What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Marsden? What am I being asked for?
You are right in the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Marsden. However these days you can not proceed with any conveyancing transaction in the absence submitting proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a bank statement. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of identification it must be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not acceptable in the absence of the other.
Proof of the origin of funds is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer will need to have this information on record. Your Marsden conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any monies from you into their client account and they may also ask additional questions regarding the origin of monies.
My wife and I buying a end of terrace house in Marsden. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to see if these works are permitted?
Your conveyancer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Marsden will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of works or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Certain additions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Can you point me to a directory of Co-operative panel solicitors in Marsden on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings available on the web. If you are looking for a Marsden solicitor on the Co-operative please use our tool.

When it comes to conveyancing in Marsden obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Marsden. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Marsden
-
Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Marsden I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Marsden suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Do I need to be suspicious by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Marsden conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all suggest lawyers to instruct. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
How does one remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a property in Marsden?
Where a Marsden property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to remove their name as in the event of a sale you would simply be required to evidence as to the reason the co owner is not a party to the conveyance, usually this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making things simpler in the future you can apply to have the deceased name removed from the title by applying to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
